About our toilet chip repair in Little Houghton
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common problems we fix in Little Houghton
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
